Jay-Z has played nights two and three of his massive three-night run at Yankee Stadium, and brought out huge names including Eminem, Rihanna, and Pharrell as special guests. The two dates came after the rapper kicked off the first show celebrating the 30th anniversary of his 1996 album ‘Reasonable Doubt’ on Friday (July 11). That date was a family affair, with his wife Beyoncé joining him on ‘Can’t Knock the Hustle’ and their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, taking to the piano for a rendition of ‘Feelin’ It’. Other guests on the opening night included Memphis Bleek, Jaz-O, Alicia Keys,…
Sinatra was playing over the speakers at Yankee Stadium, but the night wasn't over, not quite. No, as Frank's voice rang out at 2:30 am, in the wee small hours of Monday morning — “I want to beee a part of it…” — Jay-Z still had a few more verses left in him. Seeing Jay live is a rare enough treat in these days when the man who was once rap's most prolific hitmaker is more or less retired, for real this time, emerging only when he wants to say something to the generations of hip-hop fans who still revere…

There are films that, over the years, continue to divide just as much as the day they were released. The Doors by Oliver Stone belongs to this category. 35 years after the first distribution, the return for three days (today, Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 July) in Italian cinemas of the restored 4K version offers the opportunity to put back at the center a question that has accompanied the film since 1991: how much does faithfulness to the facts matter when telling a myth?It is an inevitable question, because few musical biopics have aroused equally contrasting reactions, with the public…
The Demise of Planet Sleaford Mods January 16thRotten, dirty and not at all imbeciles, in The Demise of Planet the Sleaford Mods describe our brains crushed by shaking and our miserable lives, there in England but also here in Italy.
